take about $20 of your 50k and buy the book "Investing for Dummies". That is the very first investment you should make. Read it twice. At that point you will have a basic understanding of investing which is the very first thing you need.
You have a great many answers suggesting index funds and mutual funds. I agree with those answers. The one caution that I would have is to not put your money into fewer than 5 different funds with 5 different investment goals. You want to maximize the probability of having a good experience with investing. I would also recommend that one of the 5 is a money market fund or t-bills. |

I would recommend putting some of than money into Prosper as a lender. Check out http://www.ProsperFiveStar.com
They have good rates of return and automatic reinvestment. I'd think $2500 - $5000 would be enough since the minimum investment in a single loan is $50. |

Find a good mutual fund or ETF and dollar cost average into it (each month buy 2,000$ bucks worth of shares or something).
Dollar cost averaging is supposed to help smooth out volatility in the markets.
That is the safe way to invest in the stock market. |

choices are aplenty when it comes to investing... one such is currency trading and available in 24 hrs a day... there are also many systems available in the market to provide tips as well but do observe their terms and conditions.. take a look at http://www.prosignal-forex.com/index.php?ref=1342 for example. hope this helps! |

Hi,
You may star your own forex or stock trading. It's really profitable and exciting business with no boss, no working hours and you could trady from any place in the world.
But as you probably know high income is related with high risk. Therefore I would reccomend you to read following books and then start your own online trading.
Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager;
Technical Analysis by Jack D. Schwager;
Comprehensive Course on The Wave Principle by A.J. Frost and Robert Prechter;
Candlestick Charting Explained- Timeless Techniques for Trading Stocks and Futures by Gregory L. Morris;
Trading Chaos – Applying Expert Techniques to Maximize Your Profit by Bill M. Williams;
New Trading Dimensions by Bill M. Williams
Trading Chaos II by Bill Williams – Maximize Profits with Proven Technical Techniques by Justin Gregory-Williams and Bill M. Williams
If you have no time to read all these books then read and study at lieast all three books written by Bill Williams.
If you don't know where to open trading account I could assist you to open it in one brokerage company in Austria. They allow to trade cfd on shares, commodities, metals and currencies (forex) from the same account; 500 instruments available.
If you open trading account under my referral I provide you with short trading course and trading techniques that I use for 5 years.
If you interesting then please PM or e-mail me (press on my name) and I provide you with further details
Good luck! |

only way to earn some profit by investing that I know, would be investing on Forex . What I do is using http://4xgenie.com service, you 'll get free 3 weeks trial, (don't forget to use MSMS555 code when signing up to get free trial). The most important for me is that I finally make a profit. And not waisting a time.Good luck! |

set up an account with www.firstrade.com
buy VTI and EFA in equal amounts.. let it sit forever.
this is the best advice you will get. these are not stock picks, they are two things you can buy and you will own thounsands of companies in america and around the world. with the lowest fees possible.
currency trading is retarded.. stock picking is dumb.. ask any professor of economics... they will tell you the best thing is to buy a tiny bit of every stock in the world.. and thats what u get with the index funds i have above..
if ur still uncertain.. get yourself a "FEE ONLY" financial advisor. |

If you want to invest with minimal effort, then you should buy an indexed s&p 500 mutual fund from vanguard, symbol VFINX.
If you want to actively manage your money, then you should open an account at Scottrade. Then, go to http://www.Top10Traders.com and see what the best investors are buying and selling - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500.
Here are this month's best traders:

Good luck. |

I would invest in several good no-load mutual funds. You will be invested in several hundred companies, and can get a pretty good return on your money. Open an account at a discount broker like scottrade or schwab. They have hundreds of no load mutual funds to choose from.
There is an excellent book on no load mutual funds by Sheldon Jacobs available used or new from amazon.com
A money market fund can yield over 4% with no real risk while you learn what to do with your money. You can get your money in a day or two with no fees or hassles,
USFunds has several good moneymarket funds.
http://www.usfunds.com/main_intro.asp
I would stay away from mining and small companies if I were you until you understand the stockmarket better.
Morningstar university has few courses you can take which will inform you well about both stocks and mutual funds. |
